Yes, as I said create an edl list. It works I just tried it.
The program I already created the cut list in has the following cutlist
in the database:
0-19681 108330-115380 - this means cut from frame 0 to frame 19681 and
from frame 108330 to frame 115380
This is obtained from a search of the database, the cutlist field in the
table recorded.
The filename is
1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv so I made an edl called
1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv.edl containing:
0 787.2 0
4333.2 4615.2 0
This means cut from zero seconds to 787.2 seconds and from 4333.2 secs
to 4615.2 secs
numbers were calculated as follows:
19681/25 = 787.2
108330/25= 433.2 etc
I use PAL so it is 25 frames per sec. NTSC is something weird like
29.97, but 30 should be accurate enough.
then playing with
mplayer 1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv -edl \
1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv.edl
plays with the cuts.
I did this manually as a trial. It would be easy enough to script.
